I also couldn't make the mtg last night, as I was at a family function.  Just FYI, I
was going to suggest another round of Ambassador polos when I get back from vacation next
week.  Why not keep the Ambassador shirts consistent?

I just mentioned in IRC that I thought we might consider doing a run
of lanyards for the upcoming shows in Atlanta and Albuquerque. If
anyone wants to find a vendor and get a quote that would be great. I
expect 1000 would cover both of those shows easily.

StabbyMc volunteered to look into alternate ambassador shirts so how
about working with him on that front?

That is an argument in favor of sticking with polos. But on the other
hand not everyone likes wearing polos and prefers a shirt with buttons
that is a bit more formal. I don't think anyone wants to stop doing
polos, lots of people would just like a non-polo Fedora ambassador
shirt too. Actually, I don't even care much if it is an ambassador
shirt at all, I'd be just as happy with a dressier Fedora shirt.

Hi gang,

Sorry to miss the meeting, but I've been spending much more time with
my son and starting my new business.  I'll be back soon (probably
after August).  However, I wanted to let you know that the media delay
looks to about end.  Max confirmed that RH has sent payment and so it
should just be a matter of days before I can ship out Media!!

Cheers,

Clint

That's exactly it, John. To be both truthful and vain, I attract harpoons
whenever I wear the polo because, to put it tactfully, it's unflattering on
me. But that's just me.

In Mexico, Alejandro Acosta has a white work shirt with the Fedora logo (and
writing on the sleeve I think), button down, that looks pretty professional.

My proposal is that we should have a choice: Those who want to wear polos
should do so. Those who want to wear something different should have an
option.

Putting on my polo now to go to OSCON . . . .

I will add a +1 to the Fedora Ambassador button down shirt idea.
I have an Ambassador polo, which I have worn a few times, and since it was
kind of expensive I do intend to wear it some more, but I agree the button
down shirt would be nice.

There are many company shirts I have seen that were of this type, a short or
long sleeve collared button down shirt, with the company logo on the left
upper or right upper front of the shirt.  We could use the same template as
the polos, as in, Fedora logo on left upper front, and Ambassador logo on
left sleeve.

I like the idea of having the option for either or both polo and button down
shirts.

My choice of colors would be white, black, or Fedora blue, with the logos
embroidered.
